Large Format Set-Up Information

If you’re setting files up for large format imaging, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Here are some general guidelines you should follow to insure that your order will throughput smoothly with no surprises.

If your file contains raster data, (such as scan photos, bitmapped logos, etc.) the resolution of these images should not be less than 100 dpi CMYK for 300/600 dpi output, and not less than 150 dpi RGB for 1440 dpi output at final size.

Example: If you intend to enlarge a photo to 24" x 24" at 600 dpi, and your original photo is only 6" x 6", it should be scanned at not less than 400 dpi. This way when it is enlarged 400% to 24" x 24", it will be 100 dpi at final size.

Some other things to remember, always include any and all placed images and fonts. It’s best to link to placed files rather than embedding them into your document. Always include fonts. Type 1 work much better than TrueType fonts. Also avoid Multi-Master fonts. Never use stylized text, such as using the bold or italic commands in applications like QuarkXpress®. They will appear to be bold or italic in your screen preview, but may not print that way. Always construct your documents at the proper aspect ratio. We recommend working at half-size.

Example: If your final size is 40" x 60", you would create a document that is 20" x 30". This is easy to do in most applications, and it is small enough that you can print a standard letter size proof. If you do work at full size, many applications won’t accept a document size larger than 48", and it would be impossible to print a proof without tiling the image, which you can’t fax or copy easily.

We strongly recommend that you always include a proof. Without it, we have no way of knowing if there’s a problem with the output. Also, always indicate the application used, the version, and the platform type, (Mac, PC, UNIX, etc.) If you follow these basic guidelines, things should run smoothly.
